I only needed one cartridge! Will not live long enough to use two!
Already responded that it is unfair to make a customer buy two in a pack when self life and use are considered. $215 for two cartridges is really unconscionable and unfair. Address the issue…..

Not as good as older HP laser toner

I used to be able to print on specialty gold paper with the old toner making brochures and business cards. This toner will not stick to the gold paper a real disappointment. It does h...

Great Toner
I've used this toner for 3 or so years now and it has always performed well. It also is so easy to change and you don't get toner all over yourself. A hint would be: if your toner starts to get low; take it out and shake it then replace. You will find you can get quite a few more pages from it. The toner is very expensive to me...but it performs well. The copies are al...

Fine product
This laser cartridge is easy to install and produces the desired results. When toner starts to run out, the life of the cartridge can be significantly prolonged and dozens more pages printed if the cartridge is removed, shaken and reinstalled. Be careful to do this over the sink or garbage pail though as some toner powder is likely to fall out. No complaints about this ...

Good print quality
The print quality is good but the life of each cartridge is way below advertised I go thru 2 a month on a normal month. I think it takes two cartridges to get 2100 copies.

I also like that I can take my old cartridge back to the store and get credit on my account. I can also go to the store and get the ca...
